The 31-year-old suffered a lower-body injury during the international game on November 8. Wagner took the ice as captain of the German national team for the first time in that game.
Wagner transferred from ERC Ingolstadt to Munich for the 2025–26 season. In his first season with the Red Bulls, the defensive specialist played in 56 DEL games, recording 14 points (four goals | ten assists). In total, the Landshut native has made 632 appearances in Germany’s top league. Wagner has also been a regular on the German national team for many years.
Several Absences – Krening Back in Team Practice
In addition to Wagner, Munich coach Oliver David is still without the long-term injured Mathias Niederberger (lower body) and Rio Kaiser (lower body), who will not return until early next year at the earliest. Forwards Chris DeSousa (upper body) and Dominik Kahun (lower body) are also still unavailable. Neither has returned to regular team practice yet.
There is positive news, however, regarding Philipp Krening. The forward has fully resumed team training. The medical staff will decide after Friday’s final practice whether he will be able to play in the away game against the Augsburger Panther on November 13.
